After Sun Skin Care

We want you to indulge in the outdoor festivities, just don’t wake up the next morning with painful sunburns all over your body from too much UV exposure and not enough—or the wrong type of—sun protection. There are two kinds of ultraviolet light—UVA and UVB. Both are invisible to the naked eye because their wavelengths, measured from the sun’s surface to the earth’s atmosphere, are shorter than light on the visible electromagnetic spectrum. Because we don’t notice them, the effects of UV rays are often ignored, but unhealthy exposure can lead to premature aging.
